Night guard query

2025-05-27 08:21:34
Hello, my dentist has asked me to get a night guard because she noticed lot of thinning in my front tooth.. and some chipped edges.. She suggested me to get night guard for both upper and lower teeth, but that is out of budget for me, so I want to know. Can I get only one night guard If yes, then, for which lower or upper ?
